Transferring Autotext entries from Office XP to Office 2007
I read this
(http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office....mspx?mfr=true) about migrating AutoText entries from an older version of Word to an Office 2000 installation running on Vista, but am facing a huge problem. I cannot find or access the AppData folder referred to in the above technote; I looked using Windows Explorer )with the option of Show Hidden Folders turned on) and also using the Command Prompt and the chkdir command. Any ideas on what else I could do? |

%APPDATA% is not an actual folder name, but an "environment variable"
or alias that Windows can use to look for a particular folder within your profile. In order to use the %APPDATA% alias to go to an actual folder, you have to type it (including the percent signs before and after) into the address box at the top of the Computer window; then Windows will expand it to the correct physical location. The article says "(By default, %APPDATA% is C:\Documents and Settings\username\AppData\Microsoft\.)" But that is for Windows XP and earlier, and it also isn't quite right -- the Microsoft folder is a subfolder of %APPDATA%. For Windows Vista, the %APPDATA% alias corresponds by default to either the Local folder or the Roaming folder under C:\Users\username\AppData. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

It's not a single folder, it's the location for your profile which may vary
for each user and your operating system. An easy way to find it is to go to Start/Run, type %APPDATA% and then click OK. Alternatively, type it in the Address bar in the Windows Explorer and press Enter. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
